Who Can Use the Oppo Abdominal Support?
With a supportive design and comfortable construction, the Oppo Abdominal Binder Support is ideal for patients experiencing strain on their joints, ligaments, and muscles, particularly when this pain and discomfort have been caused by a pendulous abdomen. The support can also be worn post-operatively as a binder for surgical dressings, or as a postpartum recovery aid, making it a strong option for professional care environments.
How Does the Oppo Abdominal Binder Work?
The Oppo Abdominal Binder Support features a special elastic panel that provides even support while preventing rollover. The support and compression relieve the strain on joints, ligaments and muscle caused by a pendulous abdomen, a condition in which the anterior abdominal wall becomes relaxed and allows the abdomen to hang down over the pubic region.
What Are the Benefits of Using an Abdominal Binder After Surgery?
The Oppo Abdominal Support can also be used for post-surgery recovery as a binder for surgical dressings. An abdominal binder:
- Supports patients post surgery, specifically aiding surgical incisions to heal
- Relieves pain for patients, particularly postpartum and post surgery
- Encourages patient recovery by allowing them to move more (while using)
- Reduces swelling, quickens and increases the overall quality of healing
What Types of Surgery Should an Abdominal Binder be Used After?
Abdominal binders can be used for a wide range of reasons. In particular, a post-operative abdominal binder should be used after the following operations:
- Caesarean sections
- Bariatric surgeries
- Exploratory laparotomies
- Hysterectomies
- Tummy tucks
- Spinal surgeries
Can the Oppo Abdominal Binder be Used for Postpartum Recovery?
Yes, the Oppo Abdominal Binder is great for postpartum recovery. Gentle compression and support will align the abdomen until the abdominal organs and muscles can bounce back to their pre-baby shape, which can also help with floppy and loose skin, and provide light compression to help the uterus shrink.
Abdominal binders can also help to reduce pain, increase mobility, stabilise the pelvis floor, and even help deal with diastasis recti. Moreover, this Oppo Binder may also relieve mild lower back pain.
Can the Oppo Abdominal Binder Help with Diastasis Recti?
Once the connective tissue gets stretched out, it can be difficult to rebuild core strength and bring the muscles back together. Wearing an abdominal binder aids in holding the tissue, ligaments and bones in place to stabilise the pelvis. This allows patients to begin exercising while recovering.
Will the Oppo Abdominal Binder Aid Hernias?
The Oppo Abdominal Support is excellent for abdominal strains and weakness, including hernia. Abdominal binders provide comfortable compression and support for the area, help to relieve pain and make physical activity more comfortable.

The Oppo Abdominal Support features a contoured design for a more comfortable fit around the waist and hips. It is made from a combination of elastic and soft nylon pile bonded to a 0.25-inch foam to enhance comfort, ensuring that support can be provided without any unnecessary distraction. This is great for patients requiring post operative support, or more long term rehabilitation options.
